Minnesota wants a 1C for Dumba/Brodin, or a 2C with a decent +. Any chance we could do a major sales job and sell them Strome as a 2C?

I have to wonder aloud if this is really the best course of action

Fair point sir.

No one posted what was said on insider trading, slackers.

You present a strong argument, and I am no longer worried the Rangers won't be able to fill the physical space Kreider occupies.

Twilight Zone episode where Kreider is traded but the Rangers still pencil him into the lineup and all the players act like he's still there and everyone is in on it except for Ryan Strome whose mind slowly decays into insanity.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Brodin isn't worth that imo.

So is Bobby Mac clickbait?

"Optimism is too strong of a word"


Is that like a poem or something which describes my chances of sobriety?

Why not just go with "The road not taken"

So Bobby Mac is saying what a few of us have said...if Kreider stays, some combo of Buchnevich, Strome and/or DeAngelo gets moved. I’m fine moving Buchnevich and Strome to keep Kreider. DeAngelo? Not so much.

My worry is that this is the direction JG would go in for 2 reasons:

A. Quinn loves Strome.
B. It's the" easiest" move to make. There would be a hell of a market for him.

But it doesn't sound like Kreider is going to back off of his ask.

 

[B17 Apricots]

Please package Strome and Georgiev for Carolinas 1st,+. Him and Niederreiter should have some vague familiarity with each other

Only one of those are cost controlled for ext season and that is Buchnevich.

Strome gets more than 3.5 and so does DeAngelo.

The easiest decision for a Kreider re-sign is to trade Strome and if they can move him before the TDL, you get maximum value.

Capitalize on Strome now. He is what he is. He has produced a bit above his norm and we all know that is a product of playing with Panarin. So in essence it shows an interested team that he is capable of playing with a premium player. Capitalize.

One comment made a good point that it might be a leak to get some sorta leverage.

Don't you think other GMs know that Strome is a product of Panarin.

other gms and agents don't have any of this info if the deal doesn't happen its cause JG messed up

How about: if Strome was on the wild, he would be on pace for the highest scoring season for a center at a whooping 68 pts. Boy, the illustrious history of Wild hockey. Deal?

What are the chances that the Avalanche get so desperate that they trade Byram for Kreider?

Is Brodin really much of an upgrade on Skjei? I think ADA still shifts to LD, but I don't see acquiring Dumba behind Trouba and Fox. I don't think its a good fit.

You have a better chance of winning Powerball.

 

[bleedblue94]

This post is entirely neutral of pro resign and pro trade. With this with all due respect to people's opinions and such the contract you should give to CK today should be the same you'd give him 2 months ago, and the decision you make to resign him or not should be based on the player he has been for us for years and not the player he has been recently.

He's a great player but the hot streak shouldn't change anything except what his short term value is IF they trade him as a rental for a short term boost to a new team.

What if we throw in Lias Andersson? Then does it become a better chance of winning Keno in Vegas?
